| theflyonthewall.com: | On The Fly: Mid-Day Wrap | | Stocks on Wall Street were lower at mid-day, with the weakness attributed to concern over the failure for Greece and "the troika" to agree on terms of a budget that will trigger additional bailout funds for the troubled nation. The averages have moved in a very narrow range since the open, as investors await news out of Europe. There has been little in the way of U.S. economic news as the market digests its gains from Friday, following the better than expected monthly jobs report... ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., little market moving economic data was released. Europe's markets were lower following another missed deadline by Greece... MARKET NEWS: Shares of Coinstar (CSTR) advanced, while rival Netflix (NFLX) retreated, after Coinstar's Redbox unit and Verizon (VZ) announced that they would form a movie rental joint venture. Also of note, Coinstar reports earnings after today's close... Humana (HUM) reported Q4 earnings and revenue that missed estimates, but did raise its FY12 view. However, even its higher bar does not meet Street expectations... MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers were O'Charley's (CHUX), which is being purchased by Fidelity National Financial (FNF) for $9.85 per share, and Threshold Pharmaceuticals (THLD), after signing a global agreement with Merck KGaA (MKGAY) to co-develop and commercialize TH-302, Threshold's small molecule hypoxia-targeted drug. Noteworthy losers included Sohu.com (SOHU), after its earnings and revenue beat expectations but its guidance was disappointing, and Changyou.com (CYOU), following a similar report with good news from the previous quarter but cautionary statements about the next one... INDICES: Near noon, the Dow was down 42.61, or 0.33%, to 12,819.62; the Nasdaq was down 7.07, or 0.24%, to 2,898.59; and the S&P 500 was down 2.87, or 0.21%, to 1,342.03. :theflyonthewall.com |

| theflyonthewall.com: | Managed-care companies may benefit from coordination of 'duals', Barron's says | | The investment community sees a big opportunity for managed-care companies to play a much larger role in providing comprehensive care to "duals", patients eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid coverage. So far, 15 states have received grants of $1M each to develop comprehensive-care plans. Several states, including California, New York, Michigan and Massachusetts, are moving toward implementation of coordinated care in 2013. UnitedHealth Group (UNH) and Humana (HUM) could be two beneficiaries of greater coverage of duals, Barron's reports. Both get a sizable share of their revenue from Medicaid and Medicare managed care, notably the popular Medicare Advantage programs. Other winners could include Molina (MOH), Centene (CNC) and other Medicaid managed-care specialists. The managed-care industry generates about $650B of annual sales, although Barron's thinks it could be years before these companies get a significant chunk of government spending on the duals.
